"Miserable, it's really miserable!" He Chong said with emotion on this day with the imperial court newspaper, and a rare trace of sorrow flashed on his face that had experienced vicissitudes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Zhaowu New Deal was reluctantly passed, there were still many diehards in the court who resisted, because of the influence of Chang Wei and the reason that Yuan Keli was in charge of the cabinet, this time, the emperor did not hand over all the opponents to Wei Zhongxian as usual, otherwise the opponents would definitely not be able to escape the torture and killing of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang.

But the emperor's anger could not be suppressed, and Ni Wenhuan, who was good at observing words and feelings, was the five tigers under Wei Zhongxian, who was good at observing words and feelings, ordered: 134 people in the court, 16 people were killed on the spot, and two people were seriously injured and died after returning home.

Chang Wei's eyes showed the light of a victor: "Chengtianmen, it should leave a heavy mark in history, the emperor has completely defeated the civil officials, and who will dare to challenge the emperor's authority in the future!"

"The power of heaven is unpredictable!"

The result of this matter obviously made the emperor's hardcore supporter, the initiator and promoter of the new deal Chang Wei's strength soar, but He Chong still felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help muttering, pointing to the name of one of them and said: "Brother, don't hide it, Zhang Yuan in the matter, one of the eighteen people who died in the court, like me, are all from the Beggar Gang's Pure Clothes Sect, and I am still his uncle in terms of seniority, although he has not been in the gang for a long time, and his martial arts are also mediocre, but he is very affectionate to his master." He is only thirty-three years old this year, and he is a first-class jinshi with a bright future, but he died in vain...... Alas, what a pity and a pity!"

There was a glimmer of glittering light in the corners of his eyes as he spoke: "Zhang Yuan and He Mengchun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Communications and Labor, who was the elder of the previous generation, are the most powerful supporters of the beggar gang in the court, but now they are dead and degraded, and their lives will not be easy in the future." ”

Chang Wei suddenly realized that the reason why the Beggar Gang Pure Clothes Sect was prosperous was not only because He Chengkong climbed into the Chang family, but also because of the merits of these two people.

In particular, He Mengchun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, because he had temporarily served as the regent of the ministry a few years ago, and he had participated in the politics of Henan in the local area, served as a servant in the imperial court, and served as the right deputy governor of Yunnan in the army, his political and military achievements were very prominent, and he had great weight in the court. No wonder he lost power, He Chong's face was so ugly, it turned out that he was worried about his master!

"In fact, behind each of these major sects on the rivers and lakes, the shadow of the government is more or less flashing. After all, He Chong has been catching fast for decades, and he is the best at observing words and feelings, and seeing Chang Wei's thoughtful expression, he guessed his psychological activities: "Not to mention Shaolin, Wudang, and the beggar gang, let's just say that Shuzhong Tangmen, your old father-in-law, Tang Xingtian, the head of the Tang family, his fourteenth sister is the favorite concubine of Hu Ji, the former prefect of Zhaoqing, and Hu Ji's Laozi is Hu Shining, the right attendant of the former ministry, who is a few years earlier than your eldest brother. Although Hu Ji is dead, his old son loves this little daughter-in-law very much, Hu Shining is good at Taoguang and obscure, and he is very popular with the emperor for his strategy, so the status of the Tang Sect has become more and more stable. ”

There was a bit of ridicule in He Chong's words.

"Why, looking at the red eyes, then let the beggar gang also offer a few good girls to worship!" Chang Wei laughed, but asked: "The people in the government should be quite wary of the people in the rivers and lakes, just like Chen Qichang, who married a half-hung daughter of the rivers and lakes, but trapped his brother-in-law Long Jianyun for seven or eight years and did not let him walk the rivers and lakes. ”

"That's right, fortunately, the Tang family doesn't have so many ambitions, strictly speaking, it is more like a merchant family than a martial arts family, otherwise Hu Ji would not dare to marry the daughter of the Tang family as a concubine. is like the Jin Ge Society, which is famous, but as a result, Chen Qichang, who has flattered his parents several times, has touched his nose, and the relationship between the two has become close recently. ”

"If the Changkong Gang has always been low-key, it is easier to get the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, like Jin Shanwei's commander Song Si is an old relationship of the Changkong Gang. Brother, don't be surprised, after all, in the eyes of the official family, perhaps except for Wudang and Shaolin, who are more easily respected because they are involved in the relationship with the two sects of Shidao, the rest of the Jin Ge Society of the White Dao or the Changkong Gang of the underworld should be the object of extermination, or they are all the objects of being used, and the despicable Changkong Gang is of course more useful than the noble Dajiang League. He Chong laughed at himself.

"What about Ethereal? What is the perception of Ethereal in the court? "Although Chang Wei is a powerful minister, it has only been two years since he entered the officialdom, and he has done big things all the way, and he has no time to figure it out at all, his eldest brother Chang Kuan and second brother Chang Tong only maintain a gentleman's friendship with Shaolin and the beggar gang, and there are not so many interests involved, but He Chong is more proficient in these things.

He Chong shook his head and smiled: "Don't you know all these things, and you still come to pretend to be confused with my brother? Miao Miao has long been whitewashed, and with the offensive of his beauties, his power is very ......stable."

After a few words, He Chong drank all the white silver needles, wiped his mouth and walked out of the Tianming Teahouse in the cold wind, and when his figure had disappeared into the wine flag on Nanhao Street, Tang Shuxue walked in with a pout.

"Uncle He, he's the most boring!"

knew that it was for He Chong to mention the ambiguous relationship between her fourteenth aunt and father-in-law that made her face a little unbearable, but Chang Wei still quipped: "Hey, what's the matter, yesterday Uncle He was still long and Uncle He was short, why did you provoke your little aunt today?"

"Hate~" Bing Xue's smart Tang Shuxue suddenly saw through Chang Wei's trick and threw herself into his arms to be coquettish.

"Seriously, Shuxue, how did your fourteenth aunt marry Hu Ji?"

Chang Wei did not suddenly become interested in Tang Shuxue's fourteenth aunt, but became curious about Hu Shining, the emperor's military advisor, he had seen this person before, but he had no impression. Now Chang Wei has also become the son-in-law of Tangmen, and the two are related, I don't know if Hu Shining will contact him after returning to Beijing next time.

Tang Shuxue frowned slightly: "I don't know the details, but I heard from the eldest brother that my father had saved my father-in-law Hu from my fourteenth aunt in Jiujiang, and then the fourteenth aunt got married, and within a few years, my uncle died of illness because of Hu's unsuccessful career." ”

I have heard of Hu Shining, the minister of power in the DPRK, and after a little thought, I know that it should be Hu Shining's deputy envoy to Jiangxi, Hu Shining's station Jiujiang is an important port for shipping on the Yangtze River, and Tang Men must attach great importance to this place, perhaps because of this, Tang Xingtian saved Hu Shining intentionally or unintentionally, after all, his main task at that time was to suppress bandits, and it was inevitable that there would be a mistake on the battlefield.

"Then your fourteenth aunt is your grandfather's biological daughter?"

"It's my fifth grandfather's house. Tang Shuxue asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, is your fifth grandfather still alive?"

"The eldest son of the fifth grandfather is called Tang Tianwei......"

Tang Shuxue's voice in his arms gradually lowered, and Chang Weiden was stunned. No wonder Tang Xingtian, Tang Jinyi, and Tang Shuxue didn't mention this fourteenth aunt and the Hu family to him, it turned out that this involved the internal power struggle of the Tang Sect.

As for Tang Shuxue's fourteenth aunt, what role does it play between the Tang Sect and Hu Shining, whether she will have a grudge against Tang Xingtian's Tang Sect in power because her brother Tang Tianwei was killed by Tang Xingtian, and then instigate Hu Shining to deal with Chang Wei, of course, with Hu Shining's energy, Chang Wei is not afraid.

was warming up with Tang Shuxue, when he heard Xu Xu downstairs laugh and said, "Yo, isn't this Ou Ye! It's a cold day, and I'm still busy with official business!"

Then he heard Ou Zhengcheng's voice and said: "It's not a cold day, the brothers are a little too cold to stand it, come in to drive away the cold, little lady, go make a pot of tea." ”

Hearing Xu Xu diligently settle Ou Zhengcheng and the others, Chang Weicai reluctantly took his hand out of Tang Shuxue's arms, and said with a smile: "Xu Xu, this little girl is becoming more and more like a money manager, she is a leader inside and out, Shuxue, you can take her well, and she will definitely be your good helper in the future." ”

"I know~" Tang Shuxue said with silky eyes: "Now, even if I drive her away, she won't go, who let there be a lovely master here!"

After going downstairs and exchanging words with Ou Zhengcheng and a few catchers, Ou Zhengcheng saw that there were a few of them in the room, so he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I regret it now, this money is not easy to earn!"

"Ou Ye is right. Chang Wei pretended to have a bitter face and said: "This year's weather is really evil, the small one has grown so big and it is the first time to encounter such a cold spring, not to mention the small one, even Feng Laiyi's business is not much better!"

This cold spring also made it difficult for Ou Zhengcheng to contact Chang Wei, and the main energy of the Inspection Department was on several large families and brothels and inns in the city, and under Chang Wei's instructions, He Chong sent Ou Zhengcheng to the north of the city, and there was no chance to patronize Nanhao Street.

He can't come to Tianming Teahouse without scruples like He Chong, counting that he hasn't been in contact with him for more than 20 days, this time he came, it must be a new order from the alliance. And Chang Wei's words also told him that he was not idle these days, at least Feng Laiyi still approached dutifully.

Everyone laughed when they heard Chang Wei's words, and Ou Zhengcheng smiled: "Feng Laiyi's business is not good, is there a discount or a price reduction?"

"Won't it be lowered?" Chang Wei said with a smile, waved his hand and motioned for Xu Xu to pour tea for those few catchers, and brought a pot of hot water to Ou Zhengcheng's approach, and laughed quietly: "It's just that people have rules and regulations for Feng Laiyi, not like Lichun Courtyard, one or two silver can be prostituted for two nights, and any birdman can take it, who would dare to go!"

In the laughter of everyone, Chang Wei was close to Li Nong's ears again, as if he was talking about the business experience on the Fengyue Field, but said: "My lord, I have received the news that the Seven Seas Alliance under Chang Wei is already preparing, and it will soon join the Suppression Camp. ”

Anyway, this news can't be hidden for long, so he simply took it as his work achievements these days, and sure enough, Ou Zhengcheng laughed and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, seeing that Chang Wei's body just blocked everyone's sight, he quickly pulled out a paper ball from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand.

When Ou Zhengcheng and the others left, Chang Wei unfolded the paper ball, and there were only a few twisted words on it: "Feng Laiyi, Fang Sanniang, Sister Xiu." ”

"It's really an honor to make the Lord of the Chu League think about it!" Fang Huan'er's first reaction when she saw that note was to sneer.

"Chu Tiankuo definitely didn't notice you now, the most likely thing is that he spent a lot of effort but didn't understand the essentials, and finally remembered me. According to Chang Wei's estimate, Chu Tiankuo's first choice should be Ou Zhengcheng, his identity is the most suitable to check Fang Huan'er, but he never expected He Chong to take over all the affairs related to Feng Laiyi, and Ou Zhengcheng didn't have the slightest chance.

"I'm afraid that Bai Xiu somewhere makes people see the flaws. Fang Huan'er pondered: "Although Chu Tonghe is almost inextricably addicted to women, he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes after all, and Bai Xiu's martial arts are not high enough to hide the depth of his martial arts. ”

However, Feng Laiyi is the territory of Mao Yilu or Su Qiang and Su Chengcheng, although Su Lingcheng's mother and daughter have a close relationship with Gusu Murong, the cooperation between them and Jin Gehui is not as close as imagined, otherwise it is okay to send someone directly to Fenglaiyi to investigate, so why bother to make a detour and let Chang Wei investigate, so Fang Huan'er, Bai Xiu, Zhuang Qingyan and others are still safe at present.

"Master, the person you are interested in has arrived in Suzhou. ”

"Qingluan?" Chang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fang Huan'er nodded and said, "Yes, it's her, Qingyan heard Chu Tonghe say that she should go to Suzhou in the next few days." ”

Since they met at the martial arts conference, there has been no news of Qingluan. For this mysterious woman, the Seven Seas Alliance Undercurrent Hall and the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi have paid close attention to the intelligence system in Jiangnan, and now she has finally appeared.

Qingluan's whereabouts were obviously passed on to Chu Tonghe by Jin Gehui, but since He Chong entered Suzhou and purchased a number of eagle falcons, the carrier pigeons have been extinct in Suzhou, especially Feng Laiyi, and Chu Tonghe almost never left the Qin Tower, and every guest who entered the Qiushan Courtyard Feng Laiyi and Yamen were recorded, which one passed the news to Chu Tonghe?

"The biggest suspect is, of course, Wang Tan, you!" Fang Huan'er said with a smile.

As one of the seven hall masters of the alliance, Chu Tonghe naturally knew Wang Tan's identity in the alliance, so with the close cooperation of the two, Wang Tan first naturally became a friend of the head of the Changkong Gang, Changkong Kyushu, because of the same smell, and then also became a friend of the alliance.

is also because of Wang Yan's relationship, Chang Wei, who has three beautiful concubines in the family, also played Feng Laiyi as a popular prostitute in addition to Zhuang Qingyan, such as Ji Xiaoxian and Leng Yinping.

Pressing down on the curiosity of Qingluan in his heart, Chang Wei said: "Suzhou is a sensitive place for rivers and lakes at the moment, what is Qingluan here for?"

Fang Huan'er didn't answer this question, but said thoughtfully: "Master, don't you think it's strange? How much effort did we spend to find out the news of Qingluan but it didn't work, but Jin Gehui seems to know everything about it?"

"What's strange about this, it must be Chu Yanming who leaked her whereabouts. Chang Wei replied angrily. Chu Yanming's original target was Yan Qianbo, but after Yan Qianbo disappeared, Chu Yanming set his sights on the newly appeared Qingluan.

In fact, Chang Wei has always wanted to develop an informant among Feng Laiyi's Jin Gehui disciples, but although Chu Tonghe is greedy for women, his majesty is extremely strict, and he will never let his subordinates befriend the same woman twice, and looking at his admiration for Chu Tiankuo, it is impossible to betray his brother.

Hu Wenqing and Gongqishan can naturally get the news, but this is Chang Wei's deepest hidden shadow, unless it is time to bring down Jin Gehui and the mastermind behind it in one fell swoop, they will never be used, so as not to be exposed.

Li Qishan is a good candidate, but unfortunately Chang Wei is still unable to pinch his mind.

"In the past few days, I have learned that Chu Yanming went to Quanzhou, because Chu Tongchen was in the Qin Tower, he temporarily took the position of the head of the Alliance Eagle Strike Hall. The team of the Eagle Strike Hall is a member of the Jin Ge Society, who was originally well-trained, and this time he also went to Quanzhou, I heard that one is to set an example for other halls, and the other is to cooperate with other halls also need to be run-in, so Chu Yanming did not go with Qingluan. ”

"Oh?" Chang Wei groaned, the news surprised him.

"Since Qingluan has sent her to the door, let me meet her well!"
